Panel 7

8. Evacuation. In September 1939, refugee children - many just arrived - are evacuated from major cities with British children to escape German air raids. Suddenly I was no longer different - Lenore Davis in 'I Came Alone'.

9. Internment and deportation. In 1940, fearing invasion, the British government interns adult refugees from Germany and Austria as potential fifth columnists. Kindertransport boys over 16 are interned; some are deported to Canada and Australia with adult refugees. Driven from Germany as Jews, interned in England as Germans - from the 'Llandough Castle News.'

10. A Jewish farm in County Down. Many of the Kindertransport children work in agriculture. Revisit to the site of the Millisle Jewish farming colony in Northern Ireland (1938-1948). Where are those who lived here in years that have gone? Where are the builders? - Samuel Ha-Nagid
